But, we are utilizing information contained in the points/features collected by ARKit. Currently, the range of rawfeaturepoints is limited to about 10 meter from the device. We see a great chance if the range is unlock. The global localization will be more robust and accurate. ARPointCloud - Apple ARKit - FindSurface YouTube SIdQRiLj2jY

Recently, questions about ARKit/visionOS seem to be being asked in the Apple forum by internal Apple engineers. Inexperienced and untested makeshift features are being offered, putting average but experienced developers in a difficult position. They are unable to react and get something useful from the posts. Apple needs to review the situation.
